class.phpmailer.php and yahoo.com

[dstonek]

The script that includes class.phpmailer.php doesn't change these parameters.
Yahoo delivers received mail to Inbox
public $From = "[e-mail]";
public $Sender = '[e-mail]';
public $FromName = "ME";
public $Sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";
public $Hostname = "domain.com";
public $SMTPAuth = true;
public $Username = "me";
public $Password = "password"; // 'me' password

But I don't want to send mails from 'me' so I have created a new linux user called admin.domain with the associated email address [e-mail]
So these are the changes in class.phpmailer.php

public $From = "[e-mail]";
public $Sender = '[e-mail]';
public $FromName = "ADMIN";
public $Sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";
public $Hostname = "domain.com";
public $SMTPAuth = true;
public $Username = "admin.domain";
public $Password = "password"; // 'admin.domain' password

Now Yahoo delivers to spam mailbox!
What could be happening?
Thanks

yahoo has one of the worst spam filters, blocs everything willy-nilly, i don't think its your script.

But before you changed the address you where probably in the white list for the accounts you where sending to, the new address wont be.

you can google for Sender ID and DomainKeys they may help

[bradgrafelman]

Do you have an SPF record setup for your domain?

[dstonek]

Thanks for your answers.
Dagon: I am testing with my own yahoo account. I don't put any of both 'senders' in the white list.
Bradgrafelman: yes there is a spf record in bind9:
domain.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx a:domain.com ip4:myServerIP ?all"

[bradgrafelman]

Just to double check, when the one message gets sent to the spam folder, view the headers and see what Yahoo! DomainKeys is reporting; does it show that it found the SPF record and assigned a PASS/FAIL response?

Here's the header of one of these 'spam' mails
I've substituted private data

Thanks to 'Henry', maybe a human been this issue has been 'solved'
Hello,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mail.

I understand your frustration in receiving unsolicited email. While we
investigate all reported violations against the Yahoo! Terms of Service
(TOS), in this particular case the message you received was not sent
through the Yahoo! Mail system.

Yahoo! has no control over activities outside its service, and therefore
we cannot take action. You may try contacting the sender's email
provider, by identifying the sender's domain and contacting the
administrator of that domain. The sender's provider should be in a
better position to take appropriate action against the sender's account.

The email message itself does contain some information relating to the
sender's identity. Yahoo! includes the originating Internet Protocol
(IP) address in the full Internet headers of all messages sent through
Yahoo! Mail, so that we will have information regarding the origin of
messages sent through our system. The originating IP address should be
located in the very last "Received" line of the full Internet headers
and corresponds to the sender's Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Please see the following URL for more assistance:

http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/spam/spam-05.html

Once you have identified the IP address, you can conduct an IP lookup to
determine which ISP provides this person with Internet access. One such
lookup tool you may want to try is:

http://www.arin.net/whois/

You can then attempt to contact that ISP to report any abuse activities
occurring within their service.

In addition, please visit the following website for useful tools to
combat spam:

Please let me know if you still need assistance so I may assist you
further.

Your patience during this process is greatly appreciated.

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Mail.

Regards,

Henry
